breaking down the bathroom door

Hi all I have a question to ask you. I seems to be going to the bathroom every 10 to 15 mins I have to get up two and three times a night. Sometimes when I go out I practically have to knock down the bathroom door to get to the toilet. Is this happening to anyone else…

Hi everyone thanks for the response. The riunning to the bathroom is getting out of hand, I am starting to have lower back pain. I have a appt in march to see the drs. I hope that I can hold out until then.

Has happened to me when going from glyburide to glipiside &metformin should have informed physician immediately my a1c went from 9to 13 and am now on insulin Physician said I was passing almost all my sugar now 25/5 , 5 ,15/5 I would wait no longer to inform your DR.

I wondered where the nickname "run" came from. :) … but frequent urination is one of the symptoms of diabetes. Yup, I share the dashing and dancing around and at some points find myself every hour on the hour peeing. I thought it was old age setting in until I read further that your body is simply getting rid of excess sugars, which, I guess is a good thing. As with any side effect or symptom chat with your doctor. Like the slogan for Verizon, welcome to the Urine Network!

I am not on medication for diabetes and my BG is good. I can't believe how much I use the bathroom and at least four of five times each night. The funny thing is that I started writing it down on a sheet of paper in the bathroom just so I can keep track. I wanted to know if it's as much as I think, so I'll know in a day or two and then I'll ask the doctor.

What are your levels like? That is a sign to me that my levels are too high. Sounds stupid, but drink more water to help with the overload. If it is not that, then I would talk to your doctor about other causes.

Absolutely I understand. Some nites I drive myself crazy with all the up and downs. It is a fact one can pick up a lot of steps from all the back and forth. Just one of the blessings we have with diabetes, hmmm?
